FAQs
What does 'sterilised' mean in the context of cat food?
Sterilised cats (neutered or spayed) often have different metabolic needs and may be prone to weight gain or urinary issues. This food is formulated to support their specific dietary requirements, balancing energy intake and providing nutrients to maintain muscle mass and urinary tract health.
Can I feed this to kittens or senior cats?
This formula is designed for adult cats. Kittens have different nutritional needs for growth, and senior cats may benefit from formulas tailored to their age and health status. Consult your veterinarian for recommendations for kittens or seniors.
Why is there no chicken or potato in this food?
Carnilove focuses on ancestral diets. Many cats can have sensitivities or allergies to common ingredients like chicken and potatoes. This formula avoids them, opting for high-quality meat sources and alternative carbohydrates like peas and chickpeas.
How much food should I give my cat per day?
Feeding guidelines are typically found on the packaging and vary based on your cat's weight and activity level. Always ensure fresh water is available. It's best to adjust portions based on your cat's individual needs and condition.
What are prebiotics and why are they included?
Prebiotics are types of fibre that feed beneficial bacteria in the gut. They help to improve digestion, promote a healthy gut microbiome, and can contribute to a stronger immune system.
What is the caloric content of this food?
The food contains 3,579 kcal/kg, providing a concentrated source of energy suitable for active cats. This helps to ensure they receive sufficient calories without needing excessively large portions.
Troubleshooting
Cat refusing to eat the new food
Ensure the transition is slow and gradual. Try mixing a small amount of the new food with a highly palatable wet food or topping it with a small amount of warm water to enhance aroma.
Digestive upset (vomiting, diarrhea, gas)
This indicates a too-rapid transition. Revert to the previous feeding ratio that the cat tolerated well and slow down the transition process further. Consult a veterinarian if symptoms persist.
Cat is not as active as expected
Ensure the food is being fed in the correct quantity according to the cat's age, weight, and activity level. Also, consider other factors influencing energy levels, such as environment and health.
Coat appears dull or skin is dry
While the food contains beneficial oils, severe coat issues may require veterinary attention. Ensure adequate water intake and check the overall diet balance.
